D. LEASE WITH LOS ALTOS HILLS LITTLE LEAGUE: (continued) : <br /> 4 <br /> Brad Lyman, President of the Little League, explained their request <br /> for additional funds for the Little League Fields. He referred to <br /> their report in which they requested $10, 000 for immediate needs and <br /> $20, 000 for an annual maintenance program. He was quite concerned <br /> about the request for $10 , 000 as Little League season opened on April <br /> 1st. <br /> Mrs . Teddi Schick, 26400 Weston Road, commented that at one time she <br /> had been very involved in Little League as all the parents had been at <br /> that time. They did not go to the Town for support. Rather they built <br /> the snack shop, worked on the fields , etc. <br /> Mr. Brad Blackman, 25975 Alicante, stated that the parents were <br /> involved but that he believed the Town should also participate. <br /> Attendance in the Little League was up 40%; there were 350 children <br /> enrolled. In his opinion the fields were dangerous and he did not <br /> believe $10,000 was that much money. ChemLawn had donated $2 ,000 of <br /> free labor and residents were also donating their gardeners ' time. <br /> Regarding the budget, he stated it would be available the next day. <br /> John Raydon, Little League Board Member, explained that they really <br /> were just interested in getting the program started this year for the <br /> benefit of the children and the community. <br /> For purposes of clarification the Acting City Manager noted that the <br /> representatives of the Little League had commented about a parents ' <br /> day to work on the fields scheduled for March 18th. He noted that <br /> there was a conflict with this as the parking lots at the Little <br /> League fields were being used that weekend for parking for a local <br /> charitable event. <br /> Casey commented that the recommendation had been received from the <br /> Pathways , Recreation and Parks Committee supporting the Little <br /> League ' s request for $10, 000 for repairs and maintenance. Siegel <br /> pointed out that it was important that the lease be signed with the <br /> Town and the members of the Little League and the City Manager should <br /> be meeting on a regular basis to discuss the needs of the fields . <br /> Tryon also stressed the importance of communication and cooperation <br /> between the Little League and the Town. While she was not adverse to <br /> authorizing additional funds for the Little League, she felt it very <br /> important that the Council be provided with a budget from the Little <br /> League. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by van Tamelen, seconded by Tryon <br /> and passed unanimously to appropriate an amount not to exceed $5,000 <br /> toward the completion of the following maintenance items for the <br /> Little League Fields: weeding; rodent control ; fill and repair <br /> dangerous holes ; re-seed and thatch infields ; core aeration; hand <br /> 3- 3/1/89 <br />
